Thanks for the info.

You can fix individual cells in a battery pack so some are repairable.

I think batteries are the answer we are just in thr early days of this tech still.

Replacing cells is far from simple and can be deadly if done wrong by someone who does not know what they are doing. Wet chemical batteries are terrible at storing energy compared to dry chemical batteries and super-capacitors, which are both close to mass production, but far from being implemented in the automotive world right now. I agree they are good for what we have now, but need to be replaced with something more sustainable, save and clean.
